Having smoked the weed as a pain killer and an awareness raiser in a foreign country I find it to be a supurb drug. I talked with Law enforcement here in the states about it and they like it being outlawed because its easy to identify the users for an easy bust at the end of their day. I wondered why that was so I watched. It seems american marijuana smokers use so much that they are stupid rather than high and I am sure God doesn't like that.

a. The Bible teaches we are to maintain a truly clear state of mind and avoid anything that interferes with this mental acumen (Tit. 2: 4, 6).
b. Man does not need chemical help in effecting the unreal (cp. Prov. 14: 12, 15, 2 Cor. 13: 5).
What scriptures could you refer me to in speaking out against using drugs.(Marijuana)
I appreciate this question because it means that there actually ARE people speaking AGAINST these harmful substances. There are many scriptures which address this matter either directly or indirectly. At the outset, we must realize that there are many of today's issues that the Bible does not SPECIFICALLY mention. The word "marijuana" is not found in the Bible, however there are broader categories and issues in the Bible that DO deal with this subject and we will concentrate on those scriptures.
First of all, despite vehement efforts, marijuana and most other mind-altering drugs are still illegal. As Christians, we are to be subject and submissive to the governing authorities, (Rom. 13:1-5) thus, if something is illegal under our government it is not only unlawful for a Christian, it is also sinful. Even if a person is not a Christian, he or she is still subject to these same laws.
Marijuana, along with most other drugs of its kind, has also been proven to have harmful physical and psychological effects on the user. If we believe I Cor. 3:16, we will not do ANYTHING to intentionally harm our bodies, which are the temples of God.
We are also, as Christians, in a constant spiritual battle against Satan (Eph. 6:12). No person goes into battle unprepared, especially Christians. Marijuana's psychological effects include but are not limited to: paranoia, anxiety, fatigue, loss of ambition, lowered inhibitions, loss of concentration, and delusions and hallucinations; not exactly the traits of a godly warrior.
When we realize that Satan is roaming around, seeking to "devour" us (I Pet. 5:8) and that we must be "self-controlled and alert", we must also realize that anything which weakens our resolve or chips away at the armor that God has given us is evil.
I Thess. 5:22 tells us to abstain from the very APPEARANCE of evil. Phil. 4:8 tells us what to think on as Christians and since we usually end up DOING what we think about, this is an excellent scripture for this topic. Finally, Col. 3:5 tells us to put to death whatever belongs to our earthly nature. If we have died to self and live in Christ, we will not allow anything other than God to gain control of our lives. Marijuana WILL take over your life if you let it. I hope I've helped you and I hope you will continue to stand up for what is right.

three times at least in Torah - don't have the Book with me right now (blackberry) but twice minimum in Genesis - to Adam and Noah: "I give you every green, herb-bearing seed. For you it shall be as meat."
Is it green? Herb bearing? Natural from God - not processed like other drugs?

I guess it would all depend on your perception of God.
No where in the bible does it say "Thou shalt not smoke the reefer" so, that only thing that says it's wrong is the law. So, from you perspective did God influence the laws we have today(thus making it wrong), or are the laws something man made(thus making it somewhat okay in God's eyes)?

there are no right circumstances if you want to be all you can be.
Whatever takes you out of balance is sin.
Drugs and alcohol take you out of balance and numb you.
Do you think He wants to live in a Temple where weed is smoked?

No. It's is natural and it is a remedy for many medical problems. I don't think God would mind.

Genesis 1:29- "I give you", God said, "every plant that has seed anywhere on the earth and every tree that has fruit with it's seed."
God is cool with it!
